one lonely outpost in the ongoing war on intellectually dishonest narrative cultivation
Just so it doesn't go un-noted during the still snowballing rightful national outrage surrounding the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, I just want to put this question out there: What are the odds that the day after the assassination, after the better part of that prior day's news cycle was filled with growing volume and …

These truly are interesting times. This week we witnessed one very public self-outing by a semi-major influencer / media-type as he admitted that he is, and has always been, an activist merely mimicking the mannerisms of an intellectual.1 (Maybe I do overstate the extent of the admission, but I thought it overly rude to presume …
I will start this post with the passage I used to conclude my last offering on the topic: Joe Biden never was man enough to rise to the office. Joe Biden never was man enough to fill the office. It is to the shame of all involved that a severely diminished version of the life-long …

Of course, being elected on little more than undefined "Hope and Change" almost certainly meant there was always a good chance the resulting legacy would burn just as easy as the paper-thin resume of the administration's namesake. Any little spark along the way was bound to do the job. Alas, the flame thrower administered to …
I have written many times of the Un-Serious Era in America. In many ways, I presume we are well past peak un-seriousness but there will be those who cling to the blissful comfort found in that state of ignorance for quite some time.

Before getting into the most recent material, here is what was posted about the title character in this pathetically sad career in 'journalism' that continues to head nowhere good: …it is interesting to me that looking back on her activities it is clear that this creature is exactly as advertised here: a reliable conduit/tool for …

Bob Corker was the primary enabling moron to help the anti-intellectual Left from inside our perimeter back then...I hear Thomas Massie has signaled his intent to be today's enabling moron. I'm sure there will be others. Update #1 from same link: President Trump just eliminated Iran’s nuclear program with one …

I will not pretend to be the proper authority to define exactly what should be meant by "modern American Progressive movement" or the precise life cycle in our still developing history of that socially, culturally, and politically destructive beast. I only bring the subject up today to briefly turn back to this wonderful little social …
Last August I published a post titled ‘The Maverick We Have’ – An Open Letter about the Undecided and Independent Voters in the Crowd primarily to poke at the condescending powers over at the legacy site who were much too proud of being among the stubborn “feeling” undecided and “virtue-signaling” independent class.
